jobs in america. i can my colleagues to vote with senator hatch and me to repeal this tax. >> two senators talking about repealing something to fund in part obamacare. talk about it with the panel. charles lane, opinion writer for the "washington post." nina easton for "fortune" magazine and syndicated columnist charles krauthammer. welcome to you all. chuck, i start with you. one thing we have seen on the hill which is good news but something that is aimed at one of the funding mechanisms for president's healthcare law while he is overseas doing other things. >> you know, just because something is bipartisan doesn't mean it's a good idea. i have to say that i can understand why the republicans would vote for this. but what about the democrats? they support obamacare and they're voting to defund it. further more this tax is levied on highly profitable industry. which depends for a lot of its profits on government progra

programs. medicare and medicaid. excuse me. it's actually if you are going to fund obamacare, one of the fairer ways to fund it. i'd like to know what they are planning to do to come up with $30 billion. since we will have the program. obamacare is not going anywhere. where do they get the $30 billion? >> shannon: i have friends in industry that said it's difficult for them that it cost jobs because it was a tax on gross profit. why do we get involved with this? >> this is a symbolic of the political land mines we are going to see. there was divisiveness over the theoretical impact. now we have concern over the reality of obamacare. next year we see companies, big companies are going to start saying well, we would

rather pay the penalty than give extra benefits to our employees. employees look for insurance. you have 3 # states who haven't set up insurance exchanges so you have that problem. you the small businesses who are looking for ways to get out from under the 50 full-time employees, they have 50 full-time employees delay have to provide healthcare. so you have them deciding to well, we will put more people on part-time employment. so you have all the problems, that will hit people. real people. then you have the insurance companies quietly telling people that premiums will go up. substantially. one company said as much as 116% for some consumers. so you have got -- again, this is the reality of it is hitting. i think it is going to be problematic for the president's healthcare reform as it moves forward. >> charles, with all of that in mind how does it play out with the 2014 mid-term

election? that happens the same year this is rolling out. >> it will be a train wreck and it is going to be as nina indicates not a theoretical argument but a practical one. people will see the real effects. also, the sham way in which it was constructed. chuck asks where is the money going to come from if you don't tax device makers? it comes from the taxes. this is going to be added on the deficit. they constructed a budget, that made it look as if, as obama promised, not going to cost the treasury a dime. well, the cbo says it will cost $1.3 trillion over a decade. so there is an increase in $1.3 trillion plus a dime in taxes. so that it ends up looking like it's not going to cost. but there will be increases in taxes everywhere. this one will be canceled. it's ridiculous. this is the one area, medical devices where the u.s. has tremendous advantage in technology over the rest of

the world. why would you kill an industry that is so productive? so, the money will be cut. it will have to come out of taxes. the $1.3 trillion will become $1.6 trillion. it will climb. ultimately it will be a drag on the economy. i think ultimately after it hits and you get a train wreck and all the inefficiencies people will say in a couple of years, why don't we adopt a canadian system? cut out the middleman. and stop all the waste. simply have a simple system. government is completely in control anyway. have it done honestly and cleanly. >> shannon: was that the plan all along? >> i was going to add to that the funding problem is that you have the states, who opted out and don't want to set up the exchanges. the administration tried to get funding from congress to set them up themselves. that is another, congress said no. so that is another problem. another complexity that is going to add to the problem at

a time when people are told by the way, they are breaking the law if they don't have insurance. i see a lot of practical problems down the road. >> shannon: these have fiscal implications. talk about the budget. we want to get to that as well. today senate for first time in four years around midnight going to vote on a budget. we think. expect it will be on the party lines. they are going through the amendments now. dozens of them. chuck, how do you think it plays out? >> votearama they called it. i love it. quick point on the medical thing. this vote was on a budget, resolution. >> shannon: right. >> it's not binding. this is a sense that the senate thing, free shot. it doesn't actually take effect. >> it could down the road. >> yeah. >> likely do a binding vote on that. >> it would override a veto. >> i think the democrats have kind of played in, it played out the way the republicans wanted with respect theteams now. this votearama was going to be

filled witfilled with amendmentd democrats take tough votes. democrats push backstaging a vote on the ripe budget they can use against -- ryan budget they can use against the republicans in their 30-second ad. you are seeing e-mail and ad on votes passed. in that sense, politically, the republican plan is unfolded. the damns manage to write a budget, patty murray's budget hit their lowest common denominator politically. kept the tax increase under $1 trillion. it didn't look so bad. >> shannon: what is a rounding error around here? i want to note something that mike emanuel had in reporting today about the votes going on in the senate. he said ted cruz, the republican, obviously, offered amendment to get rid of obamacare, defund it and repeal it. it forced folks to vote. democrats are up 2014. que hagan, max baucus, pryor. what do you think the impact could be there? >> i don't think, it's sort of

a dead end for the attempts to repeal obamacare. i don't think that there is enough political momentum to do that. certainly among democrats. i don't see it going anywhere. >> the issue of forcing the folks up for re-election the next time around. >> that is why for the past four years, the republicans have been on the receiving end of the cheap shots on the budget. because only the republicans had produced a budget. now because of i think pretty smart maneuvering on the part of the g.o.p. in the house. the senate produced one. that is beginning to make the senators flicker in the red state that romney countered, highly embarrassing and will hurt them. which is why reid refused to propose one over four years. now i think we are going to have a firing range but the shots will be going in two directions. i think is kind of nice. >> shannon: okay. charles likes it.

>> shannon: every week viewers vote for your choice online in our friday lightning round poll. this week winners and losers. we'll get to that. that won. but first, talk about the late west the abortion doctor trial in philadelphia. we have sound related to that. >> under something called the "born alive infant protection act," that child is a person. and is entitled to all protections of federal law. >> we're discussing the trial of the doctor in philadelphia accused of really mismanaging and carrying out gruesome procedures. at his clinic.

the national abortion federation counters the statements that have been made by saying this particular facility is in philadelphia outlier, not typical of the high quality abortion care provide by majority of the abortion providers in this country. bring the panel back in to talk about it. chuck, i'll start with you. this trial is playing out as we see, some states passing the most restrictive abortion laws in decades. >> yeah. i think they are going to draw additional support from the relations in this case. we should say everyone is innocent until proven guilty. we haven't heard the defense case yet. the prosecution laid on strong evidence including eyewitnesses, physical evidence, alas of the dead babies themselves. and i must say it's doubly shocking to read how this case was discovered in the first place. i have a apparently the f.b.i. raided the office because he was sus suspected of running a narcotics operation out of this office as well. they found $250,000 in cash in

his apartment. it's a very sickening case. >> shannon: well, dash -- >> a very creepy case and creepy human being if the charges are true. i don't think we made clear here what would happen here is the aborted babies were born semily alive and then they stabbed them to kill them. to me it's a broader -- there is a broader story here. that is about mid-and late term abortions. these are not fetuss. faceless fetuss. these are babies. this doctor even joked one of them could walk to a bus stop allegedly. he was preying op a vulnerable population that felt like they didn't have options go. it back and i think as an adoptive mother if we had more, if we had adoption out there, as an option, where women could heroically give birth, take their children to term and place them in a good home, do you know the numbers of domestic infant adoptions

drop so low they stopped counting them? the government stopped counting them. and yet, we have over a million abortions a year. >> shannon: i'm thankful for adoption. that's why my mom is alive. i'm here too. i have seen it work in a lot of ways. that talk continues and we'll keep an eye on it. it comes as a number of states are passing restrictive laws. today, north dakota, the second house passed a law that would essentially outlaw abortion to starting life as moment of conception. keep an eye on that. no clear sign whether or not the governor will sign it. all right. next topic. the story doug mckelway has on the internet all over the place about the department of homeland security making massive buys of ammunition. we have facts. >> yeah. i think it should reassure those people who are watching us now from a cave in the rockies where they are provisioned for a year or two. >> shannon: we might need them. stay friends with them. >> waiting for the obama coup

d'etat, which is apparently not going to come. senator coburn who isn't exactly a liberal said number one the amount of ammunition is less than in previous years. number two, it's about a tenth of the ceiling that the d.h.s. has allowed. the last point is that the ammunition that people are saying is now short supply, is being used by the d.h.s. for obvious purpose. it is being used for the training of agents like the border security agents who have to go to the range a lot and stay sharp. everything on the hand-out. hate to disappoint the conspiracy theorists they have to come up with something new. >> they will. >> coburn said he is satisfied with the answer so far but not done. stay with him on that. winners and losers of the week. everybody wanted the hear this. chuck, tart with you.

>> i gave my winner of the week to president obama. because i think he came off okay in israel. israel a country where public opinion is not favorable for him. he got smooth reception and smoothed over rough patch with benjamin netanyahu. that is my winner. loser is chancellor angela merkel of germany. whose government took something out of the crisis in cyprus, took something that was a problem and made it worse. now everybody hates germany more than they did before. >> shannon: nina? >> my winner would be netanyahu. that this president, the u.s. president had the worst relations historically ever. not by israel but an extension to bebe. the loser is dianne feinstein who really had high hopes for passing an assault weapons

ban, particularly after the shooting of school children in connecticut. the democratic leadership told her no way. >> charles? >> i agree the winner is the prime minister of israel. but for different reasons. obama essentially said the palestinian leadership stop using the excuse of settlemen settlements. way not to enter in negotiations and you should and in the end the settlement issue will be decided and resolved if and when the peace agreement. irrelevancy. the losers are the russian gangsters. especially the ones who have stuffed a lot of the ill-gotten loot in banks in cyprus. this couldn't have happened to a nicer bunch. >> shannon: i decided to get in on the act. my loser and the winner is the same. liberty university men's basketball team.

go flame. proud alumni. they lost in the first game of the big dance but they made it there and had a tough season to play with a lot of heart. they may be losers, but they're winners, too. stay tuned. president obama is not the only u.s. dignitary making news overseas. next. acceler-rental. at a hertz expressrent kiosk, you can rent a car without a reservation... and without a line. now that's a fast car. it's just another way you'll be traveling at the speed of hertz. ♪ your finances can't manage themselves, but that doesn't mean they won't try.
